Series 7 Exam

This exam is administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
and provides an individual with the qualifications necessary in order to make different types of
trades with all types of general securities, excluding commodities and futures.
It is also one of the steps necessary in order for a member firm associate to register
with FINRA. The Series 7 exam must be passed in order to take many other principal
exams offered by FINRA. FINRA announced in 2015 that they will be making major changes to their exam structure by introducing The Securities Industry Essentials Exam (SIE)
